THE PARTISAN HOLOCAUST.

The Horrors of the First Reports Intense
fied-The Loss of Life Now Thought to be
Nearly Two Hundred.
PARIS, May 26-The scenes about the
ruins of the Opera Com1que are dis
tressing in the extreme; people are still
thronging the streets inquiring for their
friends. All day long firemen have been
taking bodies out of the building, but to-
ward evening the search had to be aban-
doned, owing to the falling walls render
ing it unsafe to continue the work.
Eighteen bodies OF ladies
in full evening dress were
found this afternoon at the bottom
of the staircase leading from the second
story. The bodies were badly multilated,
having fallen in confused mass in their
headlong flight down the stairs. The
library of the theatre, containing scores
of various operas, manuscripts and other
valu bile literature, was destroyed, with
the costly wardrobe, comprising six-thou-
sand costumes. Tue theatre was insured
for one million francs.
Thus far 1856 parsons have made in-
quiries at the hospitals and police sta
lions for missing relatives believed to
have persisted. The exclvated portions
beneath the opera-house are filed with
water to the depth of five feet, and the
nremen 6nPaSed III searching ioT OouiSo
have discovered floating about more
than sixty corpses. Owing to
the dangerous condition of the
walls, however, no effort has been
made to recover the bodies, and nothing
will be done until the safety of the
workers can be assured. Men are now
at work pulling down the walls, and at
tempts will be made to get out the float
ing bodies during the night. It is be-
lieved now that fully one hundred and
fifty persons lost tn cir lives.

THE COLOR LINE.
The Great Militia Parade in Washington
Memphis and Vfci<sburg Companies Re-
fuse to March with Their COIored Fellow

fuse to March with Their CoIored Fellow
Citizens.
WASHINGTON, May 26-The street
parade was the only feature of the
drill programme that was carried
out to-day, as heavy shower about p.
m. necessitated the postponement of the
competitive drills and the dress parade
later in the afternoon.
The color line trouble cropped out as an
incident in to-day's parade After the
ambulance of the Red Cross Society,
which brought up the rear of the parade,
had passed the reviewing stand the
crowd thought that the procession was
over, as no other organizations were in
sight, and closed in upon the am bulanc e
after the fashion of crowds at streets pa
rades. A few minutes later the Vicks burg
Southrons and the Memphis Zouaves hove
in sight and passed the stand like sep
arate con tin gent. They had deliberately
fallen out of line. They were reviewed
ov the President, and after marching to
the corner of Fourteenth street and the
avenue, turned down Fourteenth and
marched around the reservation opposite
the old pension office, and back to Will
lard's Hotel, and thence to camp.
Captain Searles, of the Southrons,
when asked why his company had
dropped out of the parade said: sIt is all
on account OF the company OF ''n1SgeFSs
which marched in front of US. When the
question was raised as to allowing colored
companies in the drill, wrote to Secre-
tary DeLeon and asked him if we were
expected to parade or do guard duty, or
associate in any way with those we con-
sid cred to be below US in the social scale.
Mr. DeLeon wrote back that we would
not be associated in any way with the
colored troops, and it was on this assur-
ance that we came to the drill. Before
we left home the people reminded US that
we were Southerners, and represented
he city of Vicksburg before the United
.-tates, and, of course, we must not let our
elves be placed on an equality with the
negroes. Yesterday colored company
drilled before us. We did not mind that,
but when it comes to placing this organi-
cation of colored people right before us,
then we objected. We spoke to Major
Sheffield commanding our division about
it, and he went to General Augur, but as
nothing was done about it, we decided to
drop out and the Memphis Zouaves fol-
lowed u.s. We could notlot the President
of the United States see US placed on an
equality with negroes"
Captain Jeffrv of the Memphis Zouaves
| corroborated Captain Searles. The OBJ
jectlonable colored troops immediately
ahead of the Southrons when the line
first advanced We're the two colored com
panies of the Virginia State troops.
